Chapter 337: Public Outrage
The last round of auction for the rare treasures finally ended. Xuandu Tianzun thought that the torture was over, but unexpectedly, the torture had just begun.
Next up is the auction of the magic pill.
In fact, most of the ancestors sent disciples here mainly for the magic pills, and at most they would buy some ready-made magic weapons and treasures, or even innate materials.
Because most ancestors have their own territories and many subordinates, they usually have no shortage of magical herbs, elixirs, and even magical weapons, because they also have alchemists and weapon refiners under their command.
The only thing is that the magic pill is too difficult to refine and consumes too much energy. Not only does it consume an astonishing amount of magical herbs and medicines, but it also takes an astonishing amount of time.
If this thing does not have the special method like the Honghuang Divine Cauldron, the success rate of making pills is really shockingly low. If you refine it bottle by bottle, you will lose four or five thousand magical herbs for each failed furnace. If you are lucky, you can make a successful furnace in three furnaces, and if you are unlucky, you don't know how many furnaces it will take to make a successful furnace.
Who can stand this? Not to mention the loss of magical herbs and elixirs, a god-level alchemist can't refine anything for a month, or even two or three months. No one can stand this.
If you refine them one by one, the success rate will be higher, but it will not exceed 30%. In other words, a god-level alchemist in the divine world may only be able to refine one divine pill in a month or two. So, it is better to refine immortal pills, at least you won't lose a large number of immortal herbs and elixirs.
Therefore, in the God Realm, most of the ancestors would directly send their disciples to bid for the divine pills. Very few ancestors would be so stubborn as to let their alchemists make them regardless of the losses. Moreover, this thing is a consumable. If you eat one pill, there will be one less pill. If you eat one bottle, there will be one less bottle. So there will always be business to be done.
Qingmufang City has become famous for its magic pill business in the past year. All the ancestors in the God Realm and even the old Heavenly Master know about it. If you want to buy magic pills, just come to the auction in Qingmufang City. There are quite a few auctions every month, and when it comes to the annual big auction, people will announce it in advance, and there will be no shortage of magic pills.
Many ancestors felt that it would be much cheaper if the quantity was large, so most of them sent their disciples.
Qingmufang City was not exaggerating. In the first round, fifty bottles of magic pills were displayed. They were all ordinary five-element magic pills, gold, wood, water, fire, and earth, with ten bottles of each series.
There are only so many in this round, and there will definitely be more than one round. The magic pills will definitely not be expensive. Seeing this, those Heavenly Masters who were sent by the ancestor to buy the magic pills felt relieved.
Xuandu Tianzun felt relieved. He didn't believe that Chen Jiu would argue with him for every bottle of so many elixirs. Anyway, he would not want them if the price was too high. He wanted to see how many bottles Chen Jiu could argue with him for.
He started bidding for the first bottle of the magic pill: "I'll offer 1,100 bottles."
Chen Jiu immediately followed up: "I'll offer 1,200 bottles."
Okay, kid, you want to argue, right? Let me see how many elixirs you have.
He waited for a while, until the other party offered 1,500 bottles of elixir, and then he said calmly, "I'll offer 1,600 bottles."
This was a bit beyond the expectations of other Heavenly Lords, because in the past six months, the transaction price of the magic pills auctioned in Qingmufang Market was basically around 1,500 bottles every month, and very few were higher than 1,500 bottles.
Everyone knows that Qingmufang City has no shortage of magic pills, so why are people trying so hard to grab them?
Especially this time, there are fifty bottles of magic pills right there, who would be crazy enough to pay a high price to grab the first bottle?
Therefore, when Xuandu Tianzun mentioned the 1,600 bottles of elixirs, the other Tianzuns remained silent.
Chen Jiu, however, insisted, "I'll offer 1,700 bottles."
Okay, you like to argue, right? Go back and argue.
Xuandu Tianzun also remained silent.
He had also thought it through. He would first use up all of Chen Jiu's elixirs, and then make Chen Jiu stare in amazement, making him die of anger.
As a result, when he deliberately added the second bottle to 1,600 bottles of elixir, Chen Jiu immediately followed suit with 1,700 bottles.
He was silent again.
The third bottle, the fourth bottle, the fifth bottle, and the five elements magic pills had all been taken in turn, but Chen Jiu still insisted on challenging him to the end, and every time he would bid for 1,700 bottles of the magic pills.
The other Heavenly Lords were getting a little impatient, but Heavenly Lord Xuandu was still smiling sinisterly.
This guy lost 8,500 bottles of elixirs in one go. Let's see how long he can hold on.
The sixth bottle, the seventh bottle, the eighth bottle, the ninth bottle, the tenth bottle, Chen Jiu still insisted on bidding, and each time he bought 1,700 bottles of the elixir.
Xuandu Tianzun was still there laughing sinisterly, but the other Tianzuns couldn't help themselves.
You have a serious illness, right? We all have a tacit understanding, and the maximum order is 1,500 bottles.
This way everyone can spend less on elixirs, why do you always order 1,600 bottles?
Finally, when it came to the eleventh bottle, someone offered 1,800 bottles of the elixir.
Chen Jiu immediately fell silent, and Xuandu Tianzun also fell silent. The eleventh bottle was bought by someone at the price of one thousand eight hundred bottles of elixir.
For the twelfth bottle, Xuandu Tianzun was still as cheap as ever and wanted to raise the price to one thousand six hundred bottles of elixirs. Chen Jiu raised the price to one thousand seven hundred bottles without hesitation.
This time the other Heavenly Lords endured it, and the bottle of magic pill was taken by Chen Jiu again.
Next, the remaining thirty or so bottles in the first round were basically the same. Xuandu Tianzun was just being stingy and wanted to raise the price to one thousand six hundred bottles of elixirs. Chen Jiu was still stubborn and didn't hesitate to raise the price to one thousand seven hundred bottles of elixirs. If someone offered one thousand eight hundred bottles, he would not want it. If no one offered one thousand eight hundred bottles, he would just take it directly.
As a result, in this round, he bought more than 40 bottles of magic pills, consuming more than 70,000 bottles of magic pills.
Even Xuandu Tianzun couldn't help but be secretly surprised. This kid had too many elixirs.
The other Heavenly Lords were furious. They came here to get a bargain, not to pay a high price. But this Heavenly Lord Xuandu was being so cheap that he insisted on asking for a total of 1,600 bottles of elixirs for each one, and wouldn't let them get it with just 1,500 bottles.
They did not blame Chen Jiu, because if Xuandu Tianzun did not speak, Chen Jiu would not speak either. The price was raised by Xuandu Tianzun.
The second round still had fifty bottles, and Xuandu Tianzun was still as stingy as ever. He raised the price of each bottle of elixir to one thousand six hundred bottles. When Chen Jiu offered one thousand seven hundred bottles, he didn't want it.
As a result, several other Heavenly Lords had to pay a high price of 1,800 bottles of elixirs to get it.
By the third round, a Celestial Master in the compartment on the top floor finally couldn't bear it any longer. He directly sent a message to all the Celestial Masters participating in the auction of the divine pills: "Fellow Daoist Xuandu, please forgive us when you can. Can you please forgive us for once?"
What he said was not an exaggeration, and the other Heavenly Lords also felt the same way.
Everyone nodded slightly to show their agreement.
At this moment, Xuandu Tianzun realized that he had angered everyone. Every time people were taking pictures well, he insisted on mentioning the 1,600 bottles of elixirs, as if he was deliberately trying to anger everyone.
His purpose was just to anger Chen Jiu, not to intentionally anger everyone!
Although the Hongmeng Sect is powerful, it cannot offend all the forces in the God Realm.
What's more, there are some forces here that are in cahoots with them, and the other forces are all neutral. The only one that is clearly hostile to them is the Tongtian Sect represented by the compartment where Chen Jiu is.
It seems that what he is doing won't work. If he really offends all the forces, it will be strange if his master, Hongmeng Patriarch, doesn't deal with him.
Ancestor Hongmeng asked him to bid for the magic pill, not to offend people!
Their next goal is to unify the divine world, and he can't let other forces get so angry that they all turn to Tongtian Sect.
There was no way, he could only endure it for the third round.
As a result, he didn't say anything, and Chen Jiu didn't say anything either, and everyone finally started the auction normally. Every time the price reached 1,500 bottles of elixirs, everyone stopped arguing, and the price finally returned to the normal price during this period.
In the fourth round, Xuandu Tianzun couldn't help being cheap again, he started to add another 1,600 bottles. Chen Jiu followed without hesitation and directly bought 1,700 bottles.
This was repeated for more than ten times, and many Heavenly Masters could not help but start to sneer. Xuandu Heavenly Master did not dare to anger the crowd, so he did not raise the price, but he could not help but want to anger Chen Jiu.
Seeing that there were hundreds of bottles of magic pills in front of Chen Jiu, he couldn't help but sneer, "So, are you happy with your magic pills? Let's see how many magic pills you have to compete with me, you idiot!"
Chen Jiu smiled slightly and said, "I can't help it. I just have a lot of elixirs. I'm not like you, an idiot. You don't have any elixirs but you still argue with me. You can't win even once, but you're still laughing here. Do you still have any shame? Or what that old witch Chi Lian said, go back and eat it!"
you!
Xuandu Tianzun gnashed his teeth in anger and said, "Why are you, a little brat who is less than a hundred years old, buying so many magic pills? Are you saving them for more than a hundred thousand years later? Don't you know that you won't live to that time? Let me tell you, let alone more than a hundred thousand years, you won't live for more than ten years!"
Why did I buy so many magic pills?
That’s a good question.
Chen Jiu directly ordered a hundred bottles of magic pills, put them in front of Jin Ling Tianzun, and said with a smile: "Big sister, this is a little gift from me to thank the ancestor for taking care of you. You must accept it."
My God, you just gave me a hundred bottles of magic pills, and you bought them with 170,000 bottles of magic pills!
Jin Ling Tianzun didn't come here to bid for the magic pill, because Chen Jiu gave Tongtian Laozu two bottles of magic pills every month, so there was no need for them to bid.
This time, Chen Jiu actually sent another hundred bottles!
It seemed that she had to accept it because she knew that Chen Jiu was doing it on purpose to anger Xuandu Tianzun.
She had no choice but to take the 100 bottles of divine pills to her own kingdom of God, and then said solemnly: "Master Jiu, thank you very much, don't listen to that idiot, I guarantee that you can live for hundreds of thousands or even millions of years."
Oops, I didn't expect you could curse.
Hahahahahahaha.
Chen Jiu couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Xuandu Tianzun was so angry that he wanted to vomit blood again.
This guy actually gave Patriarch Tongtian a hundred bottles of magic pills!
He came to buy the magic pill and hasn't even grabbed a bottle yet.
It’s over. He hasn’t even bought a bottle of the magic pill that his master wanted!
He suddenly realized what he was here for.
This is a big problem. What if this is the only round left?
When he saw that Fox Power Heavenly Venerable only had more than twenty bottles of magic pills left, he immediately said without caring, "I'll give you 1,600 bottles."
Hey, you finally remembered what you are here for?
Chen Jiu couldn't help but sneer, "You idiot, you've forgotten what you came here for. I'm telling you, it's too late. This is almost the last round of the auction for the magic pills. Today I won't let you buy even one bottle!"
Then he raised his hand and said, "I'll offer 1,700 bottles."
This guy started again!
The other Heavenly Lords really didn't blame Chen Jiu, because Chen Jiu had never raised their prices. Their prices were all raised by Heavenly Lord Xuandu.
Xuandu Tianzun is extremely anxious now. This is the last round, what should he do?
If he doesn't buy twenty or thirty bottles and take them back, it would be strange if his master, Hongmeng Patriarch, didn't punish him.
As for why Patriarch Hongmeng took so many photos, he actually knew it vaguely in his heart.
Because they are likely to fall out with Patriarch Qingmu, and they may not have the chance to bid for the magic pill in the future!
He didn't care about that anymore and just shouted, "I'll give you 1,800 bottles."
What are you yelling about?
Chen Jiu said straightforwardly: "I'll give you 2,000 bottles."
you!
Xuandu Tianzun gritted his teeth and said angrily: "I'll give you 2,100 bottles."
Chen Jiu said without hesitation: "I'll offer 2,500 bottles."
I!
This is higher than previous auction prices.
Xuandu Tianzun looked at the magic pill in front of Huli Tianzun and simply said sarcastically, "You can buy it and take it as medicine!"
cut.
Chen Jiu immediately retorted sarcastically: "Some people can't even buy life-saving medicine for their master, and they are still shouting here. What are you shouting about? Do you want everyone to see how shameless you are?"
I can't buy it?
You have a lot of elixirs, right?
Then give a little more!
Xuandu Tianzun gritted his teeth and said, "I will offer three thousand bottles."
That's right.
Chen Jiu smiled slightly and said, "You idiot, you don't want more than a thousand bottles, but you insist on giving me three thousand bottles. Fine, I'll grant you your wish, take it."
ah?
This guy actually didn't fight to the end!
Xuandu Tianzun was dumbfounded.
If it were at the normal price now, three thousand bottles of elixirs could buy two bottles of magic elixirs, but he only bought one bottle!
